A Delegation from Petrobras Is Visiting North East England to Meet with Major Companies in the Offshore Wind Supply Chain.
During the visit, Petrobras executives, accompanied by members of the Brazilian Foreign Trade Department, will participate in three days of activities organized by NOF Energy based in Durham. This includes a series of visits to industry specialists throughout the region, including Wilton Engineering, PD Ports, DeepOcean, Osbit, and Smulders Projects UK. They will also participate in Offshore Wind North East on Thursday, November 8, 2018, organized by NOF Energy.
The conference and exhibition taking place at the Xcel Center in Newton Aycliffe in November will explore the opportunities available in the offshore wind sector. Petrobras recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Norwegian company Equinor to assess a joint commercial development to establish offshore wind generation in Brazil.

The delegation includes several members involved in the implementation, engineering, and research of a pilot offshore project that Petrobras intends to install and operate in the state of Rio Grande do Norte by 2022. “The supply chain project in the Northeast is considered an example within the industry, and I am confident that Petrobras will gain valuable insight into what it means to be a global leader in offshore wind energy,” Joanne Leng, Executive Vice President of NOF Energy, said further. “The fact that the delegation chose to visit this region is an exceptional vote of confidence in the extraordinary levels of expertise, knowledge, and innovation based here. The UK and Brazil already have a positive relationship in the oil and gas sector, and I hope this can be replicated in the offshore wind industry as the South American country develops its renewable infrastructure and capabilities.”
